I don't know how to post a link to a newspaper, so I will have to just type this out. But look what I found in todays Dallas Morning News.

ABC adding celebrities to "Survivor" formula

LOS ANGELES - Eight celebrities are stranded in a remote location with only rice and water and have to cooperate to survive.

It could be a scenario for a really low-budget independent movie, but instead it's an upcoming reality TV show with the unlikely title "I'm a Celebrity - Get Me out of Here!"

ABC has ordered 15 episodes of the series, based on a British program, to air on consecutive nights in midseason. An airdate, players and a host were not announced.

Each celebrity will be given "tasks or trials to perform. If you do well, everybody gets to eat. If you don't they won't," said ABC spokeswoman Annie Fort.

This could be interesting depending on who they get to participate. I read that the Brit version used mainly "minor" celebrities.

Yeah, I'm curious about who they would get to actually be in the show. Who would be interested to go through a "Survivor" game.

I doubt most of the big celebrities would want us to see more of their bad side then we already see!
